I’m live at the open house right now in Leland.

413 Timberwind Lane SE
3 bed, 2.5 bath
$399,700

Half acre lot, no HOA, and a really nice private setting which is hard to find with new construction.

I’ll be here until 2 if anyone wants to stop by.

04/25/2026

Just listed in Leland and open for touring this Sunday.

If you’ve been looking for a home with privacy, space, and no HOA, this one is worth seeing in person.

📍 413 Timberwind Lane SE, Leland, NC
💲 $399,700
🛏 3 bedrooms
🛁 2.5 bathrooms
📐 1,638 sq ft
🕛 Sunday from 12pm to 2pm

This new construction home sits on a half acre in a quiet cul de sac and offers a wooded setting that is rarely found in new builds.

Inside you’ll find an open layout with great natural light, along with a kitchen featuring quartz countertops and custom soft close cabinetry.

Built by an experienced local builder with over 35 years in the industry, this home also comes with $10,000 in builder incentives.

The location is another big plus. You’re just minutes from shopping, dining, and the I-140 bypass, while still feeling tucked away from the busier areas.

If you’re actively searching or even just starting to explore, stop by Sunday and take a look.

If you can’t make it, feel free to reach out and I can share more details.

A lot of buyers in North Carolina don’t realize this until they’re already under contract.

You can back out of a deal during the due diligence period for pretty much any reason.

Inspection issues, financing concerns, or even just changing your mind.

The part that surprises people is what happens with the money.

The due diligence fee is typically non refundable, but your earnest money is usually protected during that period.

That is why understanding how those two work before making an offer is so important.

It can save you from making a decision you regret later.

A lot of buyers in the Leland and Wilmington area don’t realize that homes that are priced correctly are still moving pretty quickly right now.

Even in a market where things feel like they should be slowing down, well-priced and well-presented homes are still the ones that tend to get attention first. It is not always about the biggest or newest listing. It often comes down to how the home is positioned when it hits the market.

That is something I have been seeing consistently in this area lately.

It tends to surprise people when they start actively looking.

🏡 Open House Update 🏡

The open house scheduled for tomorrow at 10054 Winding Branches Dr has been canceled — the home has officially gone under contract.

Homes in Leland are continuing to move quickly, and opportunities like this don’t last long.

If you’re thinking about buying or just keeping an eye on the market, I’d be happy to send you similar homes as they hit the market.

🏡 Buying Your First Home in North Carolina? Read This First.

Whether you’re 6 months out or just starting to browse, here are 3 things that can save you thousands (and a lot of stress):

1. Due Diligence Fee ≠ Down Payment
In NC, the Due Diligence Fee is paid directly to the seller when you go under contract. It’s typically non-refundable—even if you back out—so you want to be confident before making an offer.

2. You Don’t Need 20% Down
Many buyers still think this. In reality, there are loan options that allow much lower down payments, especially for first-time buyers. The key is getting pre-approved early so you know your options.

3. Representation Matters More Than You Think
In North Carolina, agents are required to clearly explain who they represent. Having a buyer’s agent means someone is legally obligated to advocate for your best interests—from negotiations to inspections.

💡 Bonus Tip: The right time to talk to an agent isn’t when you’re ready to buy—it’s when you’re thinking about it. Strategy early = smoother process later.

If you’ve got questions (even if you’re just curious), feel free to reach out. No pressure, just help.

Earnest Money vs Due Diligence (NC Buyers — Know This 👇)

In North Carolina, offers usually include two different deposits — and they are NOT the same:

Due Diligence Fee:
• Paid directly to the seller
• Gives you time to inspect, secure financing, and decide
• Non-refundable (unless the seller breaches the contract)

Earnest Money Deposit (EMD):
• Held in escrow (trust account)
• Shows you’re serious about buying
• Refundable during the due diligence period

⏰ Important:
During the due diligence period, you can walk away for any reason and typically get your earnest money back — but the seller keeps the due diligence fee.

After that period ends, you may risk losing both if you back out without a valid reason.

Both are credited toward your purchase at closing if you move forward.

One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is only looking at the home price — not the full monthly cost.

When lenders quote a monthly payment, it often includes PITI:
• Principal & Interest
• Property Taxes
• Homeowners Insurance

But there can still be additional costs, like:
• HOA fees (if applicable)
• Maintenance / repairs

For example, a quoted payment of $2,000/month may not include everything depending on the property.

Understanding the full picture upfront helps avoid surprises and makes the process much smoother.
